Brothers Karamazov, feels like every book I've read since then is me trying to unsuccessfully chase that high. Not sure if dualism is right term for it, but the way dosto uses really low lows to accentuate the high points is sublime, almost divine. For me, you can't truly depict one without the other

Probably GR. It brushed up against the sublime probably more than anything else I've read. Granted, it's also the most repulsive, hilarious, incomprehensible, chaotic book I've ever read. It is often incredibly beautiful, though.

The waves by Virginia Woolf is probably sentence by sentence the most beautiful book ive ever read. It has such an insanely rich register of poetic language, the inner depth of emotion, the outer beauty of nature, love, pain, regret and ambiguity. There are many other books i might love more for various reasons, but if it comes to sheer raw aesthetic beauty, The waves is unmatched.

This. For years I’ve been going from book to book trying to recapture the feeling I got from karamazov but like losing virginity, it only happens once in your life.
